One of the attractive properties of the hollow carbon clusters, known as fullerenes, is the
possibility to use them as robust containers for other species. Although an IUPAC …

Shortly after the discovery of the carbon fullerene allotrope, C60, researchers recognized
that the hollow spheroidal shape could accommodate metal atoms, or clusters, which quickly …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (fullerenes with metal atom (s) encapsulated) are novel forms
of fullerene-based materials which have attracted wide interest during the past eight years …

The idea that fullerenes might be able to encapsulate atoms and molecules has been
verified by the successful synthesis of a range of endohedral fullerenes, in which metallic or …

Heating fullerenes at 650° C under 3000 atmospheres of the noble gases helium, neon,
argon, krypton, and xenon introduces these atoms into the fullerene cages in about one in …

Although fullerenes with metals encapsulated within a cage of carbon atoms have been
known since the beginning of fullerene chemistry,[1] progress in exploring their chemical …

The Er n Sc3-n N@ C80 (n= 0− 3) family of four endohedral fullerenes has been prepared
by vaporization of graphite rods packed with 2% Sc2O3/3% Er2O3/95% graphite powder in …

Анализируя развитие направлений физических и физикохимических исследований,
связанных с изучением микроскопических объектов, можно обратить внимание на …

This overview presents the recent progress in the area of endohedral metallofullerenes in
the past several years. The important results have been summarized as follows:(1) Many …

Metal carbide clusterfullerenes (MCCFs), which trap two carbon atoms together with metal
atom (s) inside the fullerene cage, are a novel branch of endohedral metallofullerenes …
